The Bismarck Airport (Website: http://www.bismarckairport.com/index.aspx ) is located about four miles southeast of Bismarck. There are only three rental car counters at the airport: Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. No bus company currently picks up or drops off passengers at the Bismarck Airport. However, Rimrock Stages Trailway (phone: 800-255-7655) provides transportation from downtown Bismarck to Fargo, ND, or Bismarck to Billings, MT, with several stops along the way. As for things to do, check out the following websites: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g49709-Activities-Bismarck_North_Dakota.html and http://www.bismarck.org/index.aspx?NID=610 and http://www.discoverbismarckmandan.com/whattodo/attractions/ . You can visit the tallest building in North Dakota, which is the State Capital Building (Website: http://www.realnd.com/capitolmap.htm ) at 19 stories tall. There is also the Lewis and Clark Riverboat (Website: http://www.lewisandclarkriverboat.com/index.html ), which is on I-94 on the west edge of Bismarck. Thirdly, try Buckstop Junction (Website: http://www.buckstopjunction.org/ ), which is an outdoor historical park. Buildings have been moved here from around the state in order to create this artificial "town". Each building houses artifacts. There is a country store, homes, church, blacksmith shop, old gas station, hotel with dance floor, and lots more. West of Bismarck on I-94 is the Dakota Prarie National Grasslands (Website: http://www.fs.usda.gov/dpg ) created in 1998. The Grasslands offer a variety of ecology, animals, hiking, and camping. As for food, here's a general restaurant website: http://bismarck.diningguide.com/ . Our two favorite spots in Bismarck were Minerva's Restaurant and Bar(Website: http://www.wrrestaurants.com/ ) at 1800 North 12th Street in Bismarck and the Peacock Alley American Grill and Bar (Website: http://peacock-alley.com/ ) located in the historic Patterson building in downtown Bismarck. Bismarck is a cheap, easy overnight trip. Give it a try!
